CatPaw

About

CatPaw is an AI coding agent developed by Meituan, the Chinese on-demand services company, positioned as an IDE-integrated coding assistant comparable to Claude Code and distributed as a JetBrains plugin plus a standalone VS Code-based IDE according to third-party monitors such as PawSignal. The product targets Meituan's internal engineering organization and Chinese-language developers, providing code completion, code generation, and agentic coding assistance comparable in scope to Claude Code. The census's original source URL (github.com/catpaw-ai/catpaw) and the GitHub organization itself now return 404, meaning the public source repository was deleted or made private; this limits verification of harness-specific capabilities such as MCP support, hooks, or subagents. Current signals indicate the product remains in use at Meituan, but its distribution and openness should be treated as uncertain pending official channels. Given the missing repository, most harness fields are left undetermined rather than guessed.
